Description Paul Bolle 2011-05-10 07:51:52 UTC

Description of problem:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/kdump contains references to /etc/kdump-adv-conf/initramfs.conf. However, kexec-tools ships without a  initramfs.conf. It's not obvious what that file could be used for (I guess it is used to pull in the stuff now provided in /etc/kdump-adv-conf/). More importantly, it is unclear how one should write that file oneself.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kexec-tools-2.0.0-46.fc16

How reproducible:
n/a

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
Somehow kexec-tools should provide hints how to use initramfs.conf, for example by providing a sample under /usr/share/doc/kexec-tools-2.0.0/ or perhaps by shipping some no-op version in /etc/kdump-adv-conf/.

Comment 1 Neil Horman 2011-05-10 17:13:02 UTC

re-assigning to amwang, who is transitioning into the fedora lead for kexec-tools

Comment 2 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2011-07-15 15:01:42 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 Américo Wang 2011-07-21 16:42:13 UTC

We will totally switch to dracut in Fedora 16, so no need to provide docs for the currently initramfs code.
